Low-Voltage Landscape Lighting is a simple improvement that
can make a huge difference in the safety and security of your home
as well as how it looks after dusk. Landscape Lighting is
usually installed along walkways, steps, and driveways, pointing up
at trees, walls, and fences. The typical low-voltage lighting
system requires just three components: a transformer, low-voltage
electrical cable, and the fixtures. Landscape lighting is easy
to install even if you've never done any electrical
wiring.
A transformer is used to step down the 120-volt house current
to just 12 volts. It should be plugged into a GFCI-protected
outdoor electrical outlet. This outlet should be fitted with a
“while-in-use” cover, which is an oversized plastic box that closes
over and around the power cord. The transformer needs to have
enough capacity to support the cumulative wattage of the lights in
the system plus about 1 watt for each 10 feet in the total length
of the run of lights. Between fixtures, the cable is normally
buried in a shallow trench about 3-6 inches deep.
Unlike the landscape lighting of old, today’s fixtures come in
a wide range of shapes and colors. As long as you have a nearby
outlet, you’ll be able to give your home and yard a welcoming glow
when the sun goes down. With the new solar LED techology
getting more affordable, and lighting fixtures coming out in
new and exciting styles, not have to pay for the power to run these
fixtures is making them more attactive all the time as our energy
rates continue to climb.
